Klipsch R-40M Overview

Enjoy quality, affordable sound with this pair of Klipsch Reference R-40M Bookshelf Speakers. With 50W RMS / 200W peak handling power and a sensitivity of 91 dB, the R-40M are easy to drive, compatible with most home audio amplifiers or receivers, and usable with stereo or surround sound systems.

90 X 90° Tractrix Horn
The Klipsch exclusive Tractrix horn technology delivers the power, detail, and emotion of the live music experience with clean, natural sound. The increased outer horn dimensions allow for directivity control over a larger bandwidth of frequencies, resulting in improved high-frequency directivity and a more accurate sound stage than previous models.
Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Aluminum Tweeter
The Klipsch Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Aluminum is an extremely light and rigid material used in the tweeter assembly to provide high efficiency and improve resolution and detail. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of Klipsch speakers, making it a core component of the Klipsch design.
Spun-Copper Thermoformed Crystalline Polymer (TCP) Woofers
Utilizing trickle-down technology from Klipsch's Reference Premiere series, the TCP woofers have steeper angling of the cones for a smoother response and improved accuracy and transparency. The additional ribbing increases the overall rigidity for less cone breakup at higher frequencies.
High-Quality Cabinet Design and Appearance
Hidden fasteners, edge-to-edge horn, and low-profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance. The reinforced 3/4" MDF construction with bracing design reduces cabinet vibration for less audible coloration and improved sonic accuracy.
